This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump has reportedly sold his signature Mar-a-Lago luxury residence in Florida, according to a Zillow listing which said the resort was purchased on August 4—weeks before the former president voluntarily turned himself in at Fulton County jail in Georgia, where he was booked on 13 felony counts.
But a later report by The Express mentions that the former president might have not really “sold” the property, but simply transferred its ownership to an organization owned by his son Donald Trump Jr.
The listing, which is still available on Zillow’s website, shows that a 5,061-square-foot residence at 1100 S Ocean Boulevard in Palm Beach, Florida, was sold on Friday, August 4 for $422,000,000.
While the home is not listed by Zillow as “Mar-a-Lago,” the address corresponds to that of Trump’s Palm Beach residence, and so does its size, roughly.
The listing also mentioned that the last time that the property was sold was on April 6, 1995—the exact same date when the former president turned the residence, which he purchased in 1985, into The Mar-a-Lago Club.
While Trump might have technically sold Mar-a-Lago, his family still has a private residence on the property grounds.
The original article contains 263 words, the summary contains 194 words. Saved 26%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Here’s a shorter summary:
Donald Trump sold his Florida Mar-a-Lago residence on August 4, but there’s speculation he transferred ownership to his son. The property was listed for $422 million and is now owned by a company linked to his eldest son. This sale timing has raised questions. Trump faces legal issues related to the 2020 election but remains popular among Republicans in polls.

They cunts are shifty as fuck
Shorter: found out
Not much of a summary if you ask me. Might as well read the entire article.
Maybe you’re just used to the usual articles where the whole story is based on a tweet (X post?) and thus the content is already contained in the headline.
I’m not at all against long articles, I read plenty. I’m just saying imo this isn’t a precise enough summary.
I keep saying this bot is not something to be relied on, but we’re in a minority.
Haha yeah, I get the same feeling. You definitely shouldn’t rely on it, but at least the bot isn’t trying to click bait you by intentionally hinting at something more exciting than actually happened.
The headline here makes it sound like he’s sold it off entirely, that it‘s most likely just a paper shuffling is lost. But if you want to summarize the actual content, most people who didn’t bother reading the article won’t read a second, potentially worse, article if it’s 75% of the first one. Make it one concise paragraph and people might actually find out a bit more detail.

Can you summarise that comment please
AutoTLDRTTLDR (Too Long Didn’t Read The Too Long Didn’t Read)?
If you bring 75% of the original article length to an English teacher and call it a TLDR, I’m pretty sure you’d fail the exercise.
I saw someone propose that there should be a min post length for the summary bot, because one of the summaries was just as long as the article. It’s nice to have it inline, but still.
In this case it’s 75% of the original article and it also introduces the risk of getting something wrong or leaving something important out. It’s shortening and rewriting it, but it’s not summarizing it.
At least let the first paragraph be a summary of the entire article and then you can read on and go into more detail if you want.
TL;DR?
But a later report by The Express mentions that the former president might have not really “sold” the property, but simply transferred its ownership to an organization owned by his son Donald Trump Jr.
Getting his affairs in order, I see.
To me it seems more like trying to hide his assets.
You’re not legally allowed to own or operate a business from prison, his lawyers probably told him to get the ball rolling on this sooner rather than later
It’s Florida, doesn’t the homestead thing criminals from losing their homes?
I’m wondering if hiding assets is still a thing, when wealthy people have so many legal ways to circumvent taxation. The world is full of tax havens.
That’s an accounting trick as old as time, can’t be taxed or penalized on stuff that isn’t yours. Besides, he has a long history of hiding assets, it’s kind of his thing.
Can real estate be seized in Civil Asset Forfeiture?
Yes actually.

Prison rape is not funny.

right? People like to claim to be anti-rape, but then make prison rape jokes. If you make prison rape jokes (or rape jokes in general) you’re not actually anti-rape. Then again, neurotypicals love to claim a lot of things performatively because they only care about making themselves feel good. Nothing else matters to them.
Being a traitor to your country isn’t funny either.
Well that’s one image I didn’t need in my brain ever. Thanks for that.

And they all come out smeared in orange fake tan afterwards. Yuck.
He’s trying to avoid government seizure.
No doubt it is an asset used for, and acquired by proceeds from, criminal activity.
Sold to a mysterious Mr. Tonald Drump, whom we have been unable to reach for comment.
Funny how he refused to separate conflicts of interest when he was president but thinks it’s a good idea now that he’s in legal trouble
